The rank of '''Master Assassin''' was one of the highest obtainable within the [[Assassins|Assassin's Order]].

In 1191, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] held the position before being demoted to a [[novice]] following his failure to obtain the [[Apple of Eden]] beneath [[Solomon's Temple]]. He eventually regained this title, and held it during the assassinations of [[Robert de Sable]] and [[Al Mualim]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> One of his descendants, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], also obtained the rank in 1499.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

A Master Assassin was presumed to have reached the peak of his learning as an Assassin. The rank garnered a large amount of respect from other members within the Order, and indicated individuals who possessed uncommon skill and talent in both the arts of stealth and assassination. A Master Assassin was meant to embody [[The Creed|the Creed]]; they will never harm an innocent, always hide in plain sight, and never compromise the Brotherhood.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

===Crusades===
Like all Assassins, they possessed the beak-like design upon their hoods, but their robes were generally longer, forming a bird-like "tail" that fluttered whenever they performed a leap of faith or stood on a ledge. In addition, their leather belts were larger, their red strips wider and longer, and they had permission to carry any sort of weapon. The color of their robes remained white, as the only member allowed to wear another color, specifically, black, was the [[Grand Master of the Assassin's Order|Grand Master]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

===Renaissance===
With the order much less public, a uniformed guideline no longer existed. [[Renaissance]] Assassins were a small group, with access to knowledge and weapons. Most retained their free-running, hidden blades and beak-like hooded traditions.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
